Diagnosis of Covid-19 from Chest X-Ray Images Using Wavelet-Based Depth Wise Convolution Network

ABSTRACT

There is a great need to create and put in place a method of automatic detection as a substitute for conventional diagnosis for COVID-19 detection that can be employed on a commercialscale because there aren't as many COVID-19 test kits availablein medical institutions. In particular, chest X-Ray scans can beexamined to assess whether a patient has COVID. Due to the availability of numerous big annotated picture datasets, convolutional neural networks have achieved remarkable success in image analysis and classification. Input is obtained in the form of chest x-rays images. Output results are acquired instantly in real-time which predicts if the person suffers from Covid or not. Modern technique use the RCNN algorithm, which makes them less precise and time-consuming. We suggest an automated deep learning-base method for extracting COVID-19 from chest X-ray pictures. For analysing the chest X-Ray pictures, suggested method offers enhanced depth-wise convolution neural network. Through wavelet decomposition, multiresolution analysis is incorporatedinto the network. In order to identify the condition, the network is given the frequency sub-bands that were recovered from the input pictures. The network's goal is to determine whether the input image belongs to the Covid-19 class or not. The Advantage of the proposed system are that it could be the very first-of its kind, cost-efficient, and highly accurate application that provide complete and accurate covid - 19 diagnosis. © 2022 IEEE.
